1542267 Cover | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

This is a genuine Volvo Penta cover from the lubricating and oil system group, part number 1542267. It is a small, lightweight component used to close off an opening within the engine's oil circuit so that lubricating oil is retained and contaminants are kept out. The same cover is used across a very wide span of Volvo Penta marine and industrial diesel engines, from the compact 2001-2003 series through to the larger TAMD162 and TWD/TAD1630 families.

🔌 Function

The cover closes an opening in the engine's lubrication circuit, helping keep pressurised oil contained and preventing dirt or water from entering. Correct sealing at this point supports stable oil pressure and clean oil throughout the engine.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Oil weeping or seepage around the cover and its sealing face
• Visible oil film or residue collecting below the cover after running
• Cracked, distorted or corroded cover that no longer seats flat
• Loss of oil level between services with no other identifiable leak point
• Damaged or pitted sealing surface found during service or reassembly

🛠️ Service Notes

• Clean both sealing faces back to clean metal and check the cover for distortion, cracks or pulled bolt holes before refitting — a warped flange will not seal even with a new gasket
• Where the joint uses a gasket, seal or O-ring, always fit a new one and seat it dry unless the workshop manual for your engine specifies a sealant; never try to make a poor joint tight with extra sealant
• Tighten the fasteners progressively and evenly, working out from the centre, to the figure given in the manual for your engine — pressed steel, alloy and plastic covers distort easily if pulled down hard or unevenly
• If the cover carries a shaft seal or bearing, support it square to the shaft as it goes on so the seal lip is not nicked or rolled over
• Check that any breather, drain or oil return passage in the cover is clear before final tightening, and look for leaks once the engine has been run up to temperature
